Does anyone belive that government can implement a digital secure ID, everytime they try to upgrade computer systems it ends up costing a fortune and inevitably fails to deliver what was promised.
My wife is still using her paper driving licence!

Siemens can’t even spell their own name. 
i have worked on a number of IT projects delivering to the government - only one was a failure - NPfIT for NHS. 

One was even mentioned in the House in regards to how to deliver a successful government IT project. Despite me throwing everything into the bin that a previous person had done and delivering 6 months of work rewriting it - in 3 months (14-18 hour days 3 to 4 days a week - the other 1 or 2 days was up to 10 hours) - it nearly killed me

it can be done - believe me - the infrastructure is there with Government Gateway as the backbone.

Thats my concern..if it happens driving licences will be way down the list of problems, food and fuel would be at the top, but that wouldn't happen.....would it ?

graduates from the University of crime know as prison will tell you obtaining physical proof needed for scams was always the hardest part that tells us digital id is a lotto win for criminals

Indeed. 😄

I still had a paper license until about three years ago when I had to reproduce it for a foreign gallery as an alternative to my passport which was being renewed. It was then I realised it was not only paper, but was registered to my parents address from when I actually passed my test in 1978! I’d moved four times since then! 😳 Oops!
